She further states that she applied herself and obtained a five years pension at the rate of about thirty six dollars per annum and was paid in the City of New York under the Act of 1838 as she believes.
And that she has not since intermarried and that she still remains the widow of the said John Garrett, deceased.
That according to her recollection & belief she drew under the last mentioned act her pension for the period of three years & that as she is informed & believing an order a decision has subsequently been made that widows situated as she is are entitled to pensions for the full period of five years. She therefore claims to be allowed her pension at the rate last aforesaid for the balance of time between the number of years she received such pension and the full period of five years.
